Music

Why is it so difficult to shop for and purchase music on OSX Music? I'm pretty sure that it's impossible :-(

Why can't I buy music for download from the iTunes Store? I launched music on my laptop (Older Macbook pro Catalina 10.15.7 - waiting for the new 15" before upgrading) When I go to the music app, I cannot preview songs I have looked up. I get a lame add for Apple Music and when I hit "Not Now" it goes into a loop and will not allow the preview. - And Yes, under preferences - General - Sync Apple music is 'Unchecked.' I also noticed there is no link to buy any song I looked up. Oh, I do have links to buy the crap music Apple is pushing. I cannot use steaming services based on my how I use my music. I must be able to download. So, Apple WTF did you do to the operating system to lock me out? I have already wasted too much time on this and will be buying my music elsewhere, if there isn't a simple fix. So, Good Job on losing the money I give you.

It can be kind of annoying since it often asks you if you want an Apple Music streaming subscription. However, it is not impossible! Carefully follow the steps in here:
